Bronnadh plaic cuimhneacháin ar an scoil.

The Academic High Achievers Awards are part of a range of UCD initiatives put in place to recognise exceptional students when they join. UCD Entrance Scholars are first year students who have achieved 560 points or more in their Leaving Certificate. The Bord na Gaeilge scholarships cater for Irish speaking students from all faculties and offers accommodation in a dedicated Teach na Gaeilge at a considerably reduced rent. They in turn will promote the Irish on campus. The President of UCD hosted a reception immediately after the formal presentation ceremony.
